6 Claims.

The object of our invention is to provide a shield for use in connection with apparatus for permaently waving hair which is wound in the croquignole manner, said shield being intended especially for use in connection with exothermic means for generating the required heat to impart a permanent wave to the hair tress.

A further object is to provide a shield which is removably located between the tress clamp and the tress winding mandrel, said shield serving the double purpose of holding the pad containing the exothermic material in its operative position around the croquignole wound tress and of protecting the scalp from the heat generated by the exothermic material.

A practical embodiment of our invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 represents a top plan view showing our improved shield in'its operative position in connection with an apparatus for permanently waving a croquignole wound tress by the use of exothermic means;

Fig. 2 represents a side view of the same;

Fig. 3 represents a cross section taken in the plane of the line III-III of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. 4 represents a plan view of the shield; Fig. 5 represents a side view of the same; Fig. 6 represents a bottom plan View of the shield;

Fig. '7 represents an end view of the same; and Fig. 8 represents a cross section taken in the plane of the line VIIIVIII of Fig. 5, looking in the direction of the arrows.

The apparatus for winding the tress of hair in the croquignole manner may be of any well known-or approved form. The apparatus herein shown comprises a tress clamp and a tress winding mandrel. The tress clamp is herein shown as-comprising two hingedly connected bars "1 and 2 having insulating coverings 3 and l. The mandrel 5 on which the tress is wound in the croquignole manner is carried by the clamp in the usual manner.

An exothermic means for generating heat sufficient to impart a permanent wave to the croquignole wound tress is herein shown as compris-- ing a pad 6 containing the exothermic material 7,

said pad being adapted to be partially wrapped stiff material, said shield comprising a bottom 8 and uprising sides 9, 10. This shield is located between the tress clamp and the tress winding mandrel. The bottom of the shield is provided with an elongated slot 11 through which the tress passes from the clamp to the winding mandrel. The uprising sides 9 and 10 of the shield are spaced from the wound tress a sufficient distance to permit the snug insertion of the opposite sides of the pad 6 between the wound tress and said sides. A pad 12 of felt or other suitable material may be inserted between the tress clamp and the scalp, if so desired.

It will thus be seen that we have provided a shield which may be applied to well known or approved apparatus, whereby exothermic means may be used in connection therewith for imparting a permanent wave to the hair, said shield also serving to protect the scalp from the heat generated by the exothemic material.

It is evident that various changes may be resorted to in the construction, form and arrangement of the several parts without departing from the spirit and scope of our invention, and hence we do not wish to be limited to the particular embodiment herein shown and described.

What we claim is:

1. In an apparatus for imparting a permanent wave to a croquignole wound tress, a tress clamp, a tress winding mandrel and an integral removable shield of stiff material located between the clamp and mandrel.

2. In an apparatus for imparting a permanent wave to a croquignole wound tress, a tress clamp, a tress winding mandrel and an integral removable shield of stiff material located between the clamp and mandrel, said shield having an elongated slot through which the tress is passed.

3. In an apparatus for imparting a permanent wave to a croquignole wound tress, a tress clamp, a tress winding mandrel, a pad containing an exothermic material embracing the wound tress and an integral shield of stiff material removably located between the clamp and mandrel for removably holding the pad in its operative position and for protecting the scalp from the heat generated by the exothermic material.

4. In an apparatus for imparting a permanent wave to a croquignole wound tress, a tress clamp, a tress winding mandrel, a pad containing an exothermic material embracing the wound tress and an integral shield of stiff material removably located between the clamp and mandrel for reinovably holding the pad in its operative position and for protecting the scalp operative position, said shield also acting to protect the scalp from the heat generated by the exothermic material.

6. An integral removable shield of stiff material for use in an apparatus for permanently waving croquignole wound hair where a heating pad is used, said shield having uprising sides for holding the heating pad in its operative position and also having a tress receiving elongated slot through its bottom.
